Abby's 6th Birthday

On her birthday morning Abby decided to open her present from us and save the rest for her party.  She was excited to get a minature Felicity (American Girl doll) and a set of books about her.
Abby was excited when her Primary teacher came and gave her a crown for her birthday to remind her that she is a daughter of God.  Abby's teacher even gave a purple one to Maddy too.
Abby's birthday dinner choice was German oven pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream.
On Saturday Abby had a Strawberry Shortcake party with the family.  We were excited that Jared's parents were able to come up from Boise to spend the day with her.Here's Grandma Collett playing put the strawberry in the basket.
Here are the kids right before opening presents.  Nathan is sad because we just explained to him that all the presents are for Abby.  I guess he thought it was like Christmas and he would get to open some too.
Abby trying on her a cute Strawberrry Shortcake apron that her Aunt Amy made for her.
She loved her little red-headed Abby doll and lunch box she got from Grandma D.
Abby was excited to get Raspberry Tort (the one doll she was still missing) from Grandma and Grandma Collett.

We had a wonderful visit with Neal and JoyAnn, and were glad they were able to come up to celebrate Abby's birthday with us.

What a cute birthday girl! That cake looks fun - I love the Strawberry Shortcake theme for the party. I played with those dolls when I was a kid.

Happy Birthday Abby.

I love the Words of Wisdom you quoted from Elder Bednar, he brought together Lehi's discourse clearly, showing the difference between those bound for heaven (spirit paradise) and hell (spirit prison) - choice - recognizing choice in our lives is essential to our progression, and righteous suffering (enduring trials and tribulations for Christ's sake) are what bring us capable of receiving the Atonement unto sanctification in Christ.
